You may recall’s Eoin’s Macbook Pro.
The one he left on the roof of his car.
Well…

In an unbelievable turn of events, somebody found my laptop in Ranelagh (having travelled from Pembroke Gardens on the rooftop), dropped it in to the nearest shop, of which the owner then dropped it in to Donnybrook Garda station on his way home from work. Somehow, it’s still in perfect working order with a small dent on one corner. Counting my lucky stars and the generosity and kindness of my fellow Dubliners, and of course the stellar work from the Gardaí in Donnybrook! I will be making a donation to charity as I am one lucky huare. Thanks Broadsheet for spreading the word.

Congratulations Eoin, this is just the sort of news we need for the day that’s in it.
What happened today?
Well done all
The benefits of living and working in d4/6 with decent people.
Boooom!
So rich people = morally good people? That’s the obvious implication of what you’re saying.
Whats your point , we all got that & agreed with it.
Not everyone agrees.
Rich people on the whole are less moral than poor on many levels… here’s some reading for you, there are tonnes of studies on it, and they all point to the same conclusion.
The richer you are the less ethical you become.

Yep.
They already have loads of laptops with no dents.
Expensed of course.
Hopefully you’ll find out when you reach a working age.
The wealthy do other things that we don’t see such as wholesale dodging of their taxes and leaving their suppliers unpaid. They cost society in other ways while others suffer as a result.
Ahole.
I live in D6 and I would definitely have flogged that mother
I knew it would have a good ending! The vast majority of us would have did same.
Either left stuff on car roof or return a found valuable.
Something like this happened to me, except the tablet got destroyed by a passing car. However, however, I just asked around and everybody pointed me to where the remains of the device were. Nobody took it away during a 24 hours interval. I am still amazed.
Yay! Great news.
Delighted to hear it :)
Return of the Mac
ha deadly!
Splendid!
Good ‘un.
Back to its Eoiner.
More power to you Mc
I think you should do the Lotto this week.
“and of course the stellar work from the Gardaí in Donnybrook!”
How patronizing.
Please explain to me how I was patronizing?
patronising, surely?
He’s just bitter and cynical Eoin.
Delighted for you.
Less patronising, more entirely unrealistic
I wish someone would drop in the wallet I lost in Ranelagh to the Donnybrook Garda station as well
